Bill Summary

As introduced, removes the market value cap used for calculating property tax relief on the primary residence for disabled veterans who are eligible for property tax relief and requires the state to fully reimburse such veterans for local property taxes paid for a given tax year on that property. - Amends TCA Title 67, Chapter 5, Part 7.

AI Summary

This bill amends Tennessee's property tax relief program for disabled veterans by removing previous limitations on market value and instead mandating full reimbursement for local property taxes on a disabled veteran's primary residence. Currently, there may have been a cap on how much property tax relief a disabled veteran could receive, but this legislation would require the state to pay the entire property tax bill for eligible disabled veterans on their home. The change means that disabled veterans will no longer have a limit on the amount of property tax relief they can receive, ensuring they are fully compensated for local property taxes on their primary residence. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, and will apply to tax years beginning on or after that date, providing a clear timeline for implementation of this expanded property tax relief program.
